HT4796 How to retain original dates of files while migrating from PC to MacBookPro

I migrated my Documents, Pictures, etc. from my PC (Dell Latitude E6410) to the new MacBookPro (late 2013) by a hard connection (Thunderbolt to Ethermet adaptor) using the Migration Assistant. The transfer was OK, however, the dates of the Files (and individual Documents) migrated now ALL have the date of migration!!!
Is it possible to "retain" the original dates of the files during the migration process???

its often the same going from PC to PC and mac to Mac if you use external media
I do have one complicated suggestion. if you can get the two machines networking smoothly, you could run rsync scripts to sync them and maintain dates as best possible. I can do that via SMB to a network attached drive.
But i cannto even try to my PC because its sharing rules are locked by corporate IT weasels

How do I delete data (mail, files, photos, etc) from iCloud?

I'd like to stay below 5Gb on my iCloud account. How can I delete data from ICloud once it's there? For instance, once I've transferred files from my iMac to iPad (or downloaded and deleted Mail from both) do these data accumulate on my iCloud account, or can I selectively delete some. A corollary question is whether synched data, such as mail, is automatically deleted from iCloud if I delete it from all synched devices. Thanks!

It appears you cannot delete

How to retain Transparency in PDF file while exporting?

Hi All,
In our project we export the PDF file by using two option.
1. By using PDF Style file
2. By using Default settings (IPDFExportPrefs Interface)
We have one image frame in template which contains transparent image.
1. In this case it copies IPDFExportPrefs from PDF Style file then it exports the PDF File by processing kPDFExportCmdBoss command.
But it does not retain trasparency in output PDF file.
2. In this case it copies IPDFExportPrefs from default settings and then it exports the PDF File by processing kPDFExportCmdBoss command.
But it retains trasparency in output PDF file.
We are not able to get exact flag that used to retain the transparency effect in PDF file.
So please help me to resolve this problem. This is very urgant.
Thanks in Advance,
Santosh Kadam.

I seem to have resolve this issue by setting compatibility option under Adobe PDF Preset.
We can set this option by using SetPDFExAcrobatCompatibilityLevel() under IPDFExportPrefs Interface.
In our case it was using IPDFExportPrefs::kPDFVersion13 from preset style file but it must have value IPDFExportPrefs::kPDFVersion14 for InDesign CS4.
Thanks,
Santosh Kadam.

Retaining original filename in FILE- SOAP- SOAP- FILE

We have faced a scenario where I have to retain original filename in File-> SOAP-> SOAP ->File. The issue is that we don't have any ESR objects and neither do we intend to create any. So its purely configuration to transfer file from one folder to another.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Swati

Hello Swati,
Even after trying the above steps suggested by Praveen, if you don't get the results use Dynamic Configurations module in the Receiver channel along with the above settings.
1) Make sure the above settings are done (given by Praveen)
2) Assign a new variable as the file name parameter under receiver channel configurations.
3) Assign the "message:interface_name" value to the variable under Variable Substitution
4)Under Module Tab do the following:
Let me know if you still face any further issue.

How to retain numerical order (Of file names) when combining files in Acrobat (9) Standard

How to retain numerical order (Of file names) when combining files in Acrobat (9) Standard, please see the attached screenshot for a clearer explanation.
I understand that if we prefix all files with leading zero's this will probably resolve the issue but I just wondered if anyone new the answer. The ironic situation is that version 6 has no problem.
I have spent over an hour with techincal support who were unable to provide me with an answer

It is not clear how you are trying to do the order. Have you tried to select a set of files and then use the arrow buttons to move them in the list? If you select the heading, that will typically reorder the files by that heading and undo everything you had done before.
You should be able to select groups of files and move them up and down in the list. All of those options appear on your view, so what is the real question?

How to fetch the Date column(or Month column) from the file name from the specified path in ODI 11g

Hi ALL,
Can any one help us regarding How to fecth the Date column(or month column) from the file name specified in the path in a generalized way .
For example :
file name is :subscribers (Cost) Sep13.csv is specified in the below path
E:\Accounting\documents\subscribers (Cost) Sep13.csv
here I need to fetch the "Sep13" as a Date column in the ODI 11g in the generalized way.
Can any one help us in this case as early as possible.

I would suggest using a piece of Jython code for this. Something like this...
import os
import os.path
filelist = os.listdir(E:\Accounting\documents\)
for file in filelist:
datestr = file[19:-4]
You'd need to work out what to do with datestr next... perhaps write it to a table or update an ODI variable with it.
Hope this is of some help.

Now , am not a very good Java DEv. and i need to find a soln. to this prob within 1 week.
The next step is to write the data to the DB.
Am sending an example of my file:
<Start>
<Machine>
<Hostname> IPCServer </Hostname>
<HostID> 80c04499 </HostID>
<MachineType> sun4u [ID 466748 kern.info] Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz) </MachineType>

<EthernetAddress> 09:00:30:C1:34:90 </EthernetAddress>
<IPAddress> 149.51.23.140 </IPAddress>
</Machine>
</Start>
Note that i can have more than 1 machines (meaning that i have to loop thru the file to be able to write to the DB)
Cal u tellme what to do!
Even better- do u have a piece of code that will help me understand and implement the database writing portion?
I badly need help here.
THANX

MacBook Air, 13", Mid 2013:
On June 10, 2013, Apple released an updated MacBook Air in the same form factor as the 2012 model during the company's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC). The 11-inch and 13-inch models have a minimum standard 4GB RAM, with a maximum configuration of 8GB. Both models are powered by the Haswell ULT 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processors with Turbo Boost up to 2.6GHz and 1.7GHz Dual-Core i7 with Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz option available. Each model has a 128GB configuration and a 256GB configuration available, with the 256GB model being upgradeable to 512GB SSD.
1.3 GHz (Core i5) or 1.7 GHz (Core i7)
MacBook Air, 13", Early 2014:
On April 29, 2014 Apple released an updated MacBook Air featuring faster processors and better battery life. The standard configurations also saw a price drop in most regions.
1.4 GHz (Core i5) or 1.7 GHz (Core i7)
MacBook Pro, 13", Retina, Late 2013:
At the Apple Special Event on October 22, 2013, Apple announced that it had updated the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. Both versions feature the new Intel Haswell chipset.
2.4 or 2.6 GHz (Core i5) or 2.8 GHz (Core i7)
MacBook Pro, 13", Retina, Mid 2014:
On July 29, 2014 Apple announced updated prices and processors for their Haswell Macbook Pro with Retina Display.
2.6 or 2.8 GHz (Core i5) or 3.0 GHz (Core i7)
I would go for the Pro Retina since the display is much better.

How to retain original song data (Date Added, etc.) after computer reformat.

Hello!
I recently had to reformat my computer, and I was able to copy all my music files and data to an external hard drive.
I currently have iTunes installed on my C drive (Windows 7) and all my music files are on a partition of my PC hard drive (P:). See image below.
What I like to do is to retain all the original song information (Date Added, Last Played, Play Count, etc.) from before I reformated, without all the songs having a Date Added of today's date and time.
I've tried to research this elsewhere on the Internet. A couple suggestions I've read pertain mostly to Macs but included the following:
~ Using the "iTunes Library.itl" file by choosing a library. Not sure how to do this method on the Windows version. (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3155068?start=0&tstart=0)
~ Changing the iTunes Media folder location (under Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced tab). I changed it to the folder above (P:\My Music\iTunes\) and clicked OK but nothing happens.
Any help or detailed instructions are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

OK, I partially solved the problem.
I primarily followed the steps under Re-creating the iTunes Library file on this page:
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
I imported using the iTunes Music Library.xml file that I saved before reformating. This file had all the correct library information before I reformatted, including the Play Count, Play Date UIC, Rating, and Date Added data. Snipet here:
<dict>
          <key>Track ID</key><integer>20090</integer>
          <key>Name</key><string>Killer Queen</string>
          <key>Artist</key><string>Queen</string>
          <key>Composer</key><string>Freddie Mercury</string>
          <key>Album</key><string>Greatest Hits I</string>
          <key>Date Added</key><date>2011-02-27T21:44:06Z</date>
          <key>Play Count</key><integer>5</integer>
          <key>Play Date UTC</key><date>2011-04-14T05:11:12Z</date>
          <key>Rating</key><integer>80</integer>
</dict>
Upon importing, all the music and playlists are now in my library along with all the original data I had before (Last Played, Plays, Ratings)...
...EXCEPT for the Date Added column. All the songs in my library show the same date of 05/15/2012 under Date Added.
Is there a reason why the Date Added data is not carried over?
On a side note: my music hard drive partition before the reformat was "J:", now it is "P:". So, to make it work I made a quick find/replace to the iTunes Music Library.xml so that all "\J:\" now show "\P:\". If this makes a difference, let me know.
Thanks!

How can I retain original data when copying Music Library to 2nd computer?

I created my iTunes music library (about 1300 songs) on my Power Book, and I want to maintain a complete backup on my new Mac Pro. I tried this by copying the entire Music folder from the Power Book via firewire to the Mac Pro. However, iTunes on the Mac Pro launched a blank Library page. So I used the Import command to load the Library from the copied files.
This seems fine except the Date Added column listed the current date for the entire library. For various reasons, I need the original Date Added for each song, along with any and all notes, ratings, and edits on every song.
Is there a way I make iTunes on the Mac Pro recognize and open the original Library files instead of starting a new document?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, I did not succeed.
After following all the steps, the results were the same as before. Launching iTunes on the Mac Pro produced a blank library. So I went to a folder in the copied iTunes Music file and clicked on a song, which launched iTunes with the song ready to play. But it had no play count, none of the original Date Added information, no ratings. It was as if I had just purchased 1300 songs within the last 15 minutes. Therefore it made no sense to waste time "importing" the entire old library into the new one, because the "vital statistics" would be missing.
I repeated the exercise several times to see if I made a mistake. Once, after navigating to the "location where you would like your new Music folder to be created, " I bypassed the New Folder button and just clicked the existing empty folder. That didn't work. Then I created a folder and named it "iTunes Music folder new." The song files went into that folder okay, but the data didn't.
I tried moving the folder from the Hard Drive location (where it landed by default after I created it) into the User file's Music folder where the old iTunes Music folder was located. Still didn't work.
I performed these operations after connecting a firewire cable between my Power Book and the Mac Pro. I used the Power Book as the host computer, because it contains the original library. I started the Mac Pro in Target Disk Mode.
I launched iTunes in the Power Book and followed the transfer instructions, as described above.
I think I've spent no less than six hours trying to accomplish what ought to be a straightforward task. I've been using Macs since the mid-1980s, but this iTunes stuff tops my list in sheer frustration. What am I missing?
